Does HIFU treatment for fat removal help with a stage 1 lipedema?

The only treatment that can potentially help you as well done Liposuction.

Lower extremity Liposuction especially areas like the inner thigh tendon not Giving impressive results and this is especially true in people with skin laxity.

Most patients with lipedema have significant skin laxity and flabby tissues. The contour improvements often don’t look much better but patients can get size reduction to fit better into clothing.

You can investigate all you want but there is very very little unbiased information available on the Internet for patients regarding treatment options. Your best bet is having in person consultations with experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.

Most likely you will get the same consistent response which is Liposuction is the gold standard and really only realistic treatment option. It’s a fairly simple procedure to have done and recover from. My practice has been focused exclusively on Liposuction for over a decade and I’ve personally performed over 7000 Liposuction procedures.

Without pictures we cannot make an assessment.

I suggest scheduling multiple in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons Bubba proven track record with Liposuction based on numerous before and after pictures.

I’m assuming this is in regards to your lower extremity’s. Keep in mind that lower extremity Liposuction typically has a far lower patient satisfaction than other anatomic areas.
